arithmetic. >> we're talk about what republicans and democrats agreed. we need 4 trillion in cuts have been 3 trillion. >> sean: cuts to the rate of increase, we're growing the size of government. >> and this president has put in place plans. >> sean: good grief. >> to slow that rate in actual cuts. >> sean: michael. >> actual cuts, the fact that he found time to spend 7 minutes with the republicans just was it, yesterday or today, to talk about this issue of sequester. 7 minutes. it's so important that that's what he found 7 minutes. if cost him should say cost the taxpayers $179,000 every time he takes off in air force one to go on another campaign swing. i'd say it's time to lead by example, lead by leadership not by-- >> michael, you realize, sean, you realize most americans say, hey you know what, both you guys, democrats and republicans, sit down and

we'll get some tax-- cuts and deals and-- >> he's been demagoguing this all week. 's he been saying kids aren't going to get immunizations, he's saying, well, you could either cut poor cukids or kids in poverty. we're going to set criminals free, not going to have a carrier in the persian gulf. 800,000 people are going to be furloughed from defense. we're just trying to balance the budget because we're stealing from our children, juan. >> no. >> how do you get that? >> you're damaging a fragile economy that needs help. you can't just cut government spending willy nilly and think you don't expect the american economy. >> sean: michael, go ahead. >> the we're 16 trillion dollars in debt. our children and grandchildren are going to be absorbing this, they have spent billions, put it in the economy. >> sean: got to go guys. >> it's grown 1%, and not working at some point you've got to say--

>> thank all of you for being with us. see you tomorrow night. >> greta: there are just hours left and the ax is about to fall. >> dark hours, dark days, all starts tomorrow. >> these cuts i think are the best example of stupid government. >> these cuts are going to be real and people will feel them. >> it is a man made disaster. >> there are going to be delays man hours and personnel among our air traffic contollers, that's a fact. >> the republicans want the sequester to go forward. >> this is bad news my brothers. >> the house has acted twice. why should the house have to act a third time before the senate does anything. >> they claim that they've passed two bills to solve the problem. sadly those two bills have expired. >> we've done our job. the president hasn't offered a plan. senate democrats haven't passed a plan. they have to pass a plan. >> if bipartisanship is impossible two reasons, the two sides don't agree on

anything, but secondly, obama doesn't want an agreement. >> new denials from the white house after a long time journalist bob woodward claims he was threatened by a white house official. >> i do not believe that threatened by the white house reporters. >> and he said you will regret-- >> you cannot read those e-mails and come away with the impression that gene was threatening anybody, as i think others have observed. >> well, you'll regret this in chicago speak means that you're going to have a dead horse bleeding in your bed tomorrow morning. oh! >> oh! oh! >> you've got to love washington and you heard it it, the famous watergate journal its bob woodward says gene sperling told him he will regret what he wrote about president obama and the sequester. >> and tonight he spoke about the exchange with sperling.

>> it was a half hour he was shouting at me. i've known him for 20 years and i e-mailed back, i don't worry about shouts, but he was really worked up and then he sent me that e-mail apologizing and saying i'm going to regret taking this it stand. now, what we're talking about here is not a fact. 's not argument with a fact, because beforehand he said we're just not going to see eye to eye on this. it's an interpretation. obviously, he didn't like being challenged on this at all, but and you know, the people have said, well, this was a threat or i was saying it was a threat. i haven't used that language, but it's not the way to operate in a white house. the problem is, there are all kind of reporters who are much less experienced, who are younger and if they're going to get roughed up in this way

and i am flooded with e-mails from people in the press saying this is exactly the way the white house works, they're trying to control and they don't want to be challenged or crossed. >> greta: the weekly standard steve hanes joins us, steve, we want to get into this one? >> well, look, if the question is does this white house -- does the obama white house bully reporters? i think the answer is clearly yes, and we've heard this from other people who weighed in today. as bob woodward said he was flooded with e-mails from reporters sharing their tales and a lot of reporters did this publicly and one went off to cut off a source of his because the source had become so aggressive. and does this e-mail exchange between bob woodward and gene sperl rise to the level of a threat? i don't think so, he when you read the e-mail it doesn't sound like a threat to he me.

>> greta: i don't think that bob was scared and i don't think that bob-- he said he didn't use the word threat, he used the word regret. you can't threaten bob woodward, but the young journalists trying to come to the white house and start being aggressive and abusive and i know we get into fights with the subjects we cover from time to time, but you know, there is such a thing as transparency and a thing-- and woodward was laying out the facts who started the sequester and got the white house mad because they got it wrong. >> i don't think that the facts are on the white house's side. woodward reported for his book "the price of politics" he was in the room if you read those passages talking to everybody there. >> and the central substantive complaint he makes that the white house is pretending that the president wasn't behind

the sequester when in fact it was a suggestion by them. >> and he said he never used the word threat, but the interview that he made, the whole point was to basically say the white house is out of line in doing this to me. >> greta: look, i mean, we all get sort of threatened or roughed up or something. >> sure. >> greta: bwhen i was travelling with the mitt romney campaign and they wouldn't let us go in when he met with walensa and we stopped at a polish festival and taking pictures of the american reporters on the bus, and i felt like i was in a petting zoo and they didn't like that and didn't talk to me anymore. >> and i've had these kinds of confrontations with the obama white house, i've had them with house senate republicans

on capitol hill before the -- in july of 2011 when there was all of this talk about the debt ceiling ap the super committee and the sequester, i was skeptical that was going to lead to a good place. i remember heated conversations with staffers, republican staffers and the house and state suggesting to me i didn't understand, didn't know what i was talking about and i would make a fool of myself if i said the things i actually believed. >> greta: and this white house pretended to be transparent when they though rough elbows around, trying to intimidate, not threatening, but trying it to intimidate on the story. >> and the most interesting thing about the whole episode to me, the white house feels they need to manipulate the media. you've seen a love fest with the washington corps with this white house for the better part of four years now. the fact that they think they need to threaten they understand the fight over the sequester of spending and size and scope of the government is

potentially damaging to the president. >> greta: steve, nice to see you. and congressman doesn't think the sky is falling, calling the sequester is manufactured crisis not the apocalypse that president obama and other democrats are predicting. >> i'm not here to scare people, i'm here to inform. >> border patrol agents will see their hours reduced. >> unemployment. >> fbi agents will be furloughed. >> these automatic spending cuts will be devastating to the american economy. >> federal prosecutors will have to close cases and let criminals go. >> sequester is washington speak for massive job loss. >> on the early childhood side of cut of about 400 million dollars. >> and on the higher education side, a cut of about 86 million dollars. >> and flights to major cities like new york, chicago, and san francisco and others could experience delays up to 90 minutes, during peak hours.

>> and congressman dowdy joins us, do you think it's a manufactured crisis this sequester, why? >> good evening, gette, i'm so glad that the telephone wires and satellites are working on the eve of sequestration and i can join you tonight. i think, i was just mildly amused several weeks ago with the notion that the president could suggest or insist upon sequestration, sign it into law and then complain about it. and then i went to being loudly annoyed when i had friends who were in the business, meat packing business threaten usda inspectors wouldn't be there. but when i hear the president of the united states say that federal prosecutors are going to have to dismiss cases and let defendants go free because of something he agreed to, it represents 1/15 of one year's worth of borrowing? you know, i think it was i'm not mad that you lied to me, i'm mad i didn't believe

anything else you tell me. you and i can't lie to the attorney general, the attorney general ought not lie to us. >> greta: that's right, it's pa felony if we lie to the attorney general. but in fact, justin napolitano i heard him on the air, how ironic if we lied to federal official a felony for us and if federal official lies. the cases that are going to be released, they're not going to be released into the street. the federal government can't release them it's got to be a judge, number one. will there be a backlog? it seems that the people who suffer in the criminal cases ones in jail, they're not going to get to trial as fast, they're going to sit in jail longer. >> perhaps a little bit. we've offered, in fact the senate voted today to give the president more flexibility. we're talking about 1/15 of just the money we borrowed. not the budget, but the money we have to borrow in terms of deficit. so the president can move around and he can prioritize it. i think he said this week he doesn't want to have to pick

between sick children and disabled children. no one wants to pick between them. if you don't want hard choices, don't get involved in politics. he's known this was coming for two years, two years he could have-- >> it's actually his idea, so-- >> and he signed it into law and he's acting like it's the first he's heard of it. >> greta: i don't want to hurt starving children on disabled children or anyone to lose a job, however, the american people were asked to give you 2% in additional taxes recently so it's sort of hard for at least for me to understand why the federal government, those who represent the government, can't find 2%. 2.4% to take out of the increased spending. we're not even asking them to reduce spending, we're talking about slowing down the spending growth by 2.4% so if we can find it in our wallets, why can't you all find it in the budget? >> we ought to be able to and some of us in the house have found it, but as you know, in the summer of 2011 they couldn't do it and that's why

sequestration was put into place. it was designed to be painful. they wanted to avoid it. they were not able to come up with a transformtive, and we've avoided it once and it's going to happen tomorrowen when people wake up and see that the mayan prophesy is not true and the comet didn't sweep them up, and the sequestration didn't have things falling out of the sky, now what's going to happen, greta, they're going to conclude, now what? maybe we can cut a little bit. maybe we can cut 1/15. >> greta: if it's painful, now what? it's the politician's fault because there is so much fat in the government, tell me you can't find 2.4% in a slow growth, not in cutbacks, but a slow growth and if everyone knew it was coming, if anyone is shocked, if anyone suddenly gets a pink slip because there's bad planning on the

part of everybody to do it. >> i wholeheartedly agree. if we cannot find -- look, we're going to try to balance the budget in two years, but that may be a heavy lift for paul ryan, but finding 85 billion dollars in a budget this size, you ought to be able to find that in the ashtray of your car in a budget this size. but you would think that the sky was going to fall tomorrow. and that we won't have air traffic contollers, and we won't have tsa agents and fbi agents. what's going to happen is people are going to wake up and they're going to say, you know what? it's uncomfortable, but that's what happens when you get 16 trillion dollars in debt. >> that's what happens, no, question. >> and the balance-- >> that's what happens when the politicians really messed up their jobs as stewards of our national budget, right? >> i was not there for all 16 trillion. >> greta: i'm kidding you. giving you a pass, i'll give you pappas. congressman always nice to see you.

>> give me 2 of the trillion. >> greta: i'll give you 2 of the trillion. >> bye. >> greta: president obama is dwelling on the pains of spending cuts, but one senator says finding places to cut is not that hard. senator mike lee making suggestions and putting them online where the president can see them himself. cuts waste, not air traffic contollers, bailouts for companies, not teachers, and i take it you and congressman gouddy. >> he and i think a lot alike. the president shouldn't be scaring the american people. and we can find areas to cut where ordinary people won't get hurt as the president is they think to. and nobody has bothered to audit the defense contractors and we don't know where our money is going and everybody is crying this horrible thing is happening. maybe it is, but i would like

to see someone go through the budget and see where our money is going. >> exactly, that's why it's so important to have a budget and so bad we've gone now four years without passing a budget. the last time in the united states senate, there was no such thing as the ipad. no one heard of it, it wasn't on the market. >> greta: i don't know if the viewers know what profound waste is. i remember during the president's stimulus bill we spent 20 million dollars on signs that these were stimulus projects. 20 million dollars on signs, do we really need signs and sort of figure it out, there was construction on the road maybe stimulus money, do he we need to spend 20 million on signs? >> probably not and probably don't need to be spending 1.5 billion dollars every year paying for government subsidized cell phones. we probably don't need to be spending 200 million dollars a year on rural air fare. and these are just two examples of many that we can point to where the government wastes money. >> greta: so we can identify, awen i can talk about it until we're blue in the face and

senator tom coburn can write a book about it. nobody stops it. what is it going to take for someone to actually stop the waste. >> it takes a budget. and to have a budget you need prolonged dethe bait and discussion and dialog about what our budgets are. >> greta: the defense department can't say we've overpaid this defense contractor for 2 billion dollars and that's waste? >> without a budget it's hard to force government into prioritizing thing. >> we need double payment, do we need a budget to figure out we shouldn't pay something twice? >> in theory no. human nature if you force people to prioritize and then that's where they're going to find waste. i think you need to empower government employees and give them had a prize. if you find some place it's

paid twice we'll give you something. and we have to create incentives. >> things like that worked in this country since the civil war when congress enacted the false claims act which is still on the books. maybe we could expand it. >> greta: thanks. >> indeed, thank you. >> greta: and dealing with the sequester fallout in their states. when asked who is to blame for the mess oklahoma governor mary fallon said everybody. nice to see you, governor. >> good to see you. >> greta: who is the everybody? i've got my list of everybody, but who is yours? >> there's a lot of people. well, first of all beginning at the top, that's the president. the president suggested the sequester and of course went to congress and congress put it in there as a default, that they were going to work on trying to balance the budget and lore the deficit. they didn't do it and now we have-- i think that everybody is to blame, republicans, democrats, house, senate, the president, but in the end it starts at the top with the president. >> greta: all right, you've look at the white house issued

a paper and i'm looking at the part that goes to your state, oklahoma where the cuts will affect oklahoma. i'm curious whether you agree. oklahoma will lose for primary and secondary education, putting 70 teachers and aides jobs at risk. the 4.9 is that additional numbers you weren't expected. are you below the baseline of what you had or slowed growth. i think it's going to be showed growth. it's hard to tell. a lot of the governors just don't know exactly what to expect. and all we are hear are the scar tactics we're going to have to cut teachers and cut this, cut that and scary things are going to happen, but you know, m my state when i took over two years ago in oklahoma we had around a 6 billion dollar budget and a 500 billion dollars budget shortfall and i didn't go around scaring people and telling them i was going to have to kick granny out of the nursing home or fire all the

teachers. what i did was go about prioritizing my spending and eliminate government waste and make things more efficient and close the budget gap, close to 8% cut of spending in oklahoma and the result of that has been that my unemployment rate dropped from 7% to 5.1% and now i have actually economic growth in our state. went from $2.03 in the rainy day account to over 600 million dollars in savings in just two years, so, if states can do it, the federal government can do it. i don't hear the president talking about it, how are we going to make government more efficient, effective and eliminate waste. he just talks about tax increases, and cut the programs and just scare everybody into believing that the nation's going to heck in a hand basket. >> greta: let me ask you about your prior life in congress and so you can explain. i think it's an important point to drive home for the american-- they hear the word cut and

they think that's going to mean we'll have less this year than last year. that's what most people think that cut is. in washington language, cut means we're not going to spend as much extra that we planned to spend, right? >> we're going to slow down the growth and spending has increased so much in washington d.c. >> greta: how does washington d.c. get away with calling that a cut, a show down in growth. i swear, everyone thinks it's a cut. we're just not going to spend as much as we thought we were going to spend extra. >> absolutely, we're not going to spend as much as we have about and we shouldn't be spending so much. i don't think that people think we don't have enough money in washington, i think they think we have a spending program. i think we have pa spending problem in washington d.c. from the time that i was in congress to the time i've beeen governor, we've seen it up and up. we're talking about slowing do you think the spending growth in washington d.c., we can do that. republican governors are proving they can do that. >> greta: aim he not convince

that had we even need to cut programs because there's so much fat in the government and there's so mu waste that if we made even one effort to locate it, to locate the fat the repetitive payments anything, i'm not sure we have 0 to cut any of the services. governor, that's the last word and thank you. >> thank you. >> greta: now to the question, who do you blame nor the sequester, the house, senate, republicans, democrats, or president obama. vote in our poll, straight ahead as the clock ticks down to the sequester, news of another big waste of your tax dollars. this time you're paying millions for luxury jets. and who is flying high on your dime? that answer is next. could this land a college student in jail? we'll see why it's led to a federal case, plus jodi arias breaks down the stand. and the prosecutor hammering on the moment she stabbed and shot her ex-boyfriend in the shower. >> were you crying when you

>> well, we're just hours away. 85 billion dollars of automatic cuts, well, really

slowed spending are going to take effect and no one in washington can agree how to slow that spending to avoid the sequester. one place they may have started a gao report flying on luxury jets and a lot of that jet setting was not for counterterrorism missions, but for personal travel. and i should congratulate you, brand new title of work. >> thanks. >> greta: some of this was work related travel, but some of it wasn't. so, what's the beef? >> that's right, since 9/11 whenever the fbi director or attorney general travel they travel on a fancy government jet and make sure they have the communication equipment. they don't just buy a ticket on american airlines like the rest of us. when they travel for personal reasons, this adds up 11 million dollars over five years and they pay the growing commercial rate than the actual cost to the taxpayers.

this adds up. >> greta: and fly a gulf stream and fly that to new york and costs what, $15,000 i think i read a story to fly and so ten what the attorney general would pay is like whatever costs then. >> couple hundred bucks, to make matters worse they store the airplanes at an undisclosed military location and have to fly them to national airport to pick up the passengers of the attorney general or fbi director. >> greta: why can't they at least go to andrews. >> exactly. this is one of the classic examples, no one can look at this objectively and say it makes sense. this is' a law there and people enact that law and go through with that law and ends up adding up to actually really silly government expenditures. it would be easy things to cut, but it's among those things that aren't being discussed right now. this is not the first time that senator grassley highlight this had. he does this every couple of years because it's crazy that he we still spend money on this. >> greta: all right and this is not just the obama administrator, but the predecessor, president bush 43, their attorney general and director were also doing the same thing. >> that's right, it's even

hard to fault attorney general holder for that reason because it's the policy and-- >> it's the law. >> they tell him what to do. but highlights again how silly this whole sequester he debate is. rather than taking the easy stuff, stuff you can cut and no one is going to feel it and say you know what, maybe we'll make the guy drive out to the air force base. >> greta: 20 minutes out to andrews. >> a couple minutes more rather than do easy things like that, we'll do senseless government expenditures. >> greta: and i guess that's sort of arose when 9/11 happened we never want to be out of touch with the director of the fbi or attorney general and want them on the fancy planes with great communication system and time has gone by and maybe rethink this and we're not. >> exactly right. it becomes mindless and became these essentials of personnel that needed to be in touch all the time. no one is saying the attorney general and fbi director can't go on personal trips or go home for the weekend, but again, these numbers are ridiculous. >> greta: aguess when someone flies to new york and rather than spending $15,000 on a

government jet. eighths 40 or 30 minute. maybe the acting attorney general or deputy ready there with the phone and still have satellite phones in the planes and cheaper ways to do that. >> even joe biden says he looks forward to taking the train now and got the secret service to allow him to do that because of the sequester cuts. >> greta: it's unbelievable, every place we look there's money going out and when we talk about cutting things we sort of looked around and use the common sense. >> the mindlessness of the sequestration cuts, where you have this awful meal cooked up by republicans and democrats disgusting as possible and now served for dinner. never supposed to happen. >> greta: that's their own fault and they've set that as a sword holding over and the super comm of a year ago was supposed to solve the problem. when it didn't solve the problem they didn't go back and try to solve the problem they let a year pass again. they through it was coming and i have no sympathy if the

american people take it out on them. >> they did it and both sides hated it he equally. >> greta: they did nothing. they may have hated it, but done nothing on a year and a half and one other thing, the senate adjourned for the day even though the sequester is tomorrow and they'll be back on monday. >> and thank you. >> thanks, greta. >> greta: how about our troops? will the sequester put our troops in danger. and it looks like the college students are having a good time. will they land in jail? thanks to the video recorded in mid air? that's coming up. ♪

>> major general bob scales warning about the impact of the sequester on our military. he insists it will be catastrophic. he joins us, nice to he sue. >> nice to see you. >> greta: explain to me how it's going to be catastrophic to the military. 2.4% and i realize it will have an impact, but catastrophic? >> let's do the numbers. 2012 the dod take a hair cut after trillion dollars, 100 million dollars aor for ten years. if this it sequestration, the department of the defense takes 50%, dod 18% of the budget and they tyke 50% of the cuts. the problem is particularly the army, they have to take those cuts over the next eight months what that means-- >> they can't take it--

>> they can't. what that means the army loses the things they need most, people and training. because the thing in the army called erosion curve and when a soldier comes back from combat, his skills in combat erode quickly so you have to put him back in the training business so he maintains those skills. if he doesn't train and you know, 12 million cut in army training funds. 60% of the army's training budget is gone and within a year, the erosion for those units is in fact catastrophic and if we have to go to war again in a year or two, those soldiers won't be ready and by the way, we have an army or a military that's at war in afghanistan not people remember that. >> greta: okay. so, i guess the -- sort of position that against what i see as probably the pentagon a lot of defense contractors and an awful lot of waste there it and i realize that this is more urgent and we can't collect that waste from the defense contractor and double

billing, whatever it is because of the urgency problems. it's more urgency with the pentagon. >> the irony is that the contractors are sort of buffered against this because of their contracts. you can't just go in and say, cut a program and get that money back in eight months. if you're going to do it, you have to cut people. and here is the sad thing. >> greta: but the deal, it's a contract. >> a contract. exactly, but the contract with the soldiers is, if i have to cut 24,000 enlisted men and 7,000 officers in the next eight months to a year, that's an easy payback to the budget. it's not so easy for those soldiers who had two, three, four tours in iraq and afghanistan. machine a machine gunner or mortarman and now on the street. >> greta: it's a much more urgent situation, and i see it now. i understand that. i'm curious about defense contractors, i hear the horrible stories that we're paying what we agreed to, billions of dollars. why isn't something done about that?

why aren't these contracts policed to see whether we're paying twice, whether we really need this stuff. it's unbelievable the amount. >> here is what's so interesting, we have the contracts going out for new stuff. everybody needs the new stuff, yeah, for institutions like the marine corps and the army, we've got 5,000 vehicles that are broken from ten years of war sitting in depots just to be repaired. we have helicopters that have flown their blades off just to bring the military back to condition where we're operationally ready. and forget the contracted new stuff. just to bring the old stuff back to some condition of readiness 6 to 12 billion dollars. >> greta: that's even a whole other issue. and people who are not part of the-- who aren't in uniform, companies making lots of money. >> lots of money. >> greta: lots and lots of money and is there -- i mean, are any of these contracts ever audited? >> they're audited, but this pace of escalation in the contracting business is out of control, no argument from me. >> greta: any bidding, any

competitive bidding. >> some of them are. >> greta: not all. >> not all, but by the way, once you get-- the problem once you get a contract for a fighter plane or a ship, then the escalation above the baseline sometimes is two or three times as much as what you originally budgeted for. the biggest problem in the dod in the years ahead is going to be acquisition reform. fix the system for buying stuff and that's probably going to be the greatest return on our investment that we could make particularly if you're trying to save over the long-term. short-term it's people and training. >> greta: nice to see you, a sobering report. thank you. coming up from hospital care and medicare too food inspections and will the sequester impact your health care. in two minutes, what does housework have to do with your waistline. the surprising study may make you want to start vacuuming... or not.
